...commission did set limits on hunting individual species in the North Pacific, where whalers claim stocks are not yet seriously depleted. Even so, the new limit on sperm whales is totally unrealistic. Working from extremely accurate data, scientists estimate that no more than 4,000 sperm whales can be harvested in 1970 without danger to the species. The commission is permitting 13,551 to be killed...
...patient will be able to return to work on Monday. The vasectomy patient undergoes no hormonal changes, and if he has fully understood the operation beforehand he should have no emotional problems. His capacity for sexual relations may even be increased, because he no longer fears conception. His sperm, trapped in the testicles, are reabsorbed, and eventually his body manufactures fewer of them. However, some sperm are left "in the pipeline" at the time of operation, so for the next six to twelve acts of coitus a contraceptive must be used. Most surgeons require that their patients return after four...
...wanted to see something intense, something grandiose and mighty. I wanted to see a giant squid and a sperm whale battle chthonically and monumentally for the dominion of the oceans.

In celebration of his victory the whale cannons his ghastly ordinance over...
...chromosome; it is an inherited abnormality. But no such chromosome was found in the body cells of either the father or the mother of the deformed infant. Something must have happened during the parents' lifetime to change the chromosomes in their germ cells, either the father's sperm or the mother's ova -most likely the ova. That something may well have been identified by the Mount Sinai doctors. The mother, the doctors found, had taken three doses of LSD nine months before her infant was conceived. The father had taken two doses a few years earlier...
...women ovulate on the 15th day of their cycles. It just isn't true. Some women ovulate the day before their period comes, or the day after it ends. And even if a woman ovulates on the 15th day, you have to consider that both the egg and the sperm can live for two days in the woman's body. That means even if you're absolutely sure which day you ovulate, there are five fertile days every month you have to avoid...
